It’s been just over a week since the Blackhawks won their second Stanley Cup in four years. The individual player days with the Cup haven’t began just yet. Before that schedule begins, the Cup has been making random appearances in and around Chicago as the celebration continues.

On Monday, the Cup made a stop to “Windy City Live,” an afternoon talk show in Chicago with Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville and team owner Rocky Wirtz. After about eight minutes of small talk about the Cup victory, the hosts then introduced the two Blackhawks leaders to the all important Meat Stanley Cup, a replica that weighs approximately 35 lbs., close to the real weight of its metallic counterpart.

That’s pretty neat, but it doesn’t quite have the charm of the Hamley Cup…

The Meat Stanley Cup was made by the people at Man B Que. Check out their Facebook page for pictures of the creative process.

After the jump, the Summer of Kaner continues.

What would a Jimmy Buffett concert in the city of Chicago over the summer after a Blackhawks Cup conquest be without an appearance from Patrick Kane? In 2010, the Blackhawks forward took to the stage during a Buffett concert to show off his shimmy and tambourine skills. On Saturday night, ole Kaner was back:

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: every day needs to be Patrick Kane’s day with the Stanley Cup.
